Thatās really neat! Iāve just been using the Ti tailcap on the Cu Tool, but your solution is much more elegant. Finally a use for my misshipped Cree Ti Tool, thanks!
That is a cool switch, but my understanding is that the UI is the same whether you use the e-switch or regular clicky switch, so are there any practical advantages to using the e-switch?
Yep, the UI is in the driver, but I at least prefer the sharp clicky feel of the Ti switch. Plus it of course enables tail standing.
Absolutely right :+1:
I do like that e-switch on the Tool Ti better. Iāll have to keep this mod in mind 
Today I grind the top of the tailcap a little bit more and smoothing the edges. Feels more comfortable now when you use the switch and works better with a thick thumb :laughing:
This is what I used for the grind work with 80 and later 600 sandpaper.
Does it have a tiny button cell battery or am i mistaking?
Yes, the e-switch has a little battery or capacitor build in.
Much better :+1:
It is not a battery but a capacitor.
I use the copper switch on the Ti.
And again, today I grind the top of the tailcap a little bit more and smoothing the edges again. Now its perfect
Andā¦ā¦perfect tailstand.
Well done! :+1:
Looks great!
I do wonder if the manufacturer themselves understand what a attractive option the copper version would be modified like this?
If it was sold like this I would have bought it already
Or a lamp with a conversion kit if there was one, not to fond of the original switch implementation on the non tiās.

Woow, hi thereā¦ compliments and congrats :partying_face: !!
For exactly same purpose i ordered several myself 
That brings me to ask: is there a thread about negativ ordering experiences somewhere?
Clearly your mod should be the standard 
:+1:
Thanks for sharing the process of your improvements
and for illustrative pics 
Amazing :exclamation:
Subāed.
Will do this hack after I got another switch
But where does one get another switch?
Yes. Looks awesome!
I had a spare replacement Tool Ti tailcap laying around (my original tailcap WAS faulty until I took the circuit board out, cleaned the contacts with DeoxIT and screwed it back in).
After receiving my Tool Copper, I decided to have a crack at this mod. Iām quite pleased with the result:
āEarsā cut off with an angle grinder (although could have easily been done with a Dremel), and ground level with my Dremel. Dremel used to sand the end flush, and then worked up sandpaper grits from 120 grit to 1200 (couldāve gone higher but didnāt have anything higher left). Dremel with buffing wheel and polishing compound to buff, and a final polish with Autosol metal polish.
I used 400 grit to 1200 grit and then buffed to give the button a welcoming satin finish.
Sheās now my prettiest copper light (her nameās May btw - is that weird?).
ā¦ā¦canāt see the pics
